He claimed that his representation was subsequently transmitted to the Ministry of the Union Law, which was rejected by the ministry, and this represented the insult of the President of India.

Before the court, he claimed that it is waterproof for the Ministry of the Union Law to reject the “reference” sent by the honorary president of India. He stated that he presented the representation of the president, because the president is the authority to appoint the chief judge of India.

President Honble sent me the representation to the ministry to make my payment. Then how can the ministry reject my representation/request/president’s reference? I asked the honorary president to make my payment, because I saved the CJI since then, which is appointed by the president,“He said.

Also Petition on the master of the Roaster issue in the supreme yard helped to establish and maintain the dignity of the CJI post.

For the context, in his plea in 2018, lawyer Pandey questioned the unilateral power of the CJI to constitute banks “arbitrarily” and to allocate the work of different banks. A bank with three judges dismissed His plea in April 2018.

In addition he transmitted in front of the Division Bank that he had filed another petition against the four judges of the Supreme Court who held a Press Conference in January 2018criticizing the CJI since then.

Before the court, he also referred to his letter and petition in SC on the motion of accusation against CJI MISRA, which he claimed was initiated under the leadership of Antonia Maino and Kapil Sibal.

However, then Vice -President of India and President Rajya Sabha, Vekaiah Naidu, later rejected the opinion, saying he had no substantial merit.

During his arguments, he stated that when he submitted petitions for CJI Misra, people asked how much CJI Misra (for the deposit of petitions).

“CJI MISRA KE LIYE PETITII DAALI TO LOGON NE PUCHA KI MUJHE CJI MUJHE KITNA DIYA? BAIYE KITNI MANSIKTA HAI LOGON KI. MAIN CJI KE HIT MEIN KI THI THI YACHIKA, CJI MISRA PAANE KI APAKE KI APAKE,“Said lawyer Pandey.
